JUST last week I went to one of the local retailers to buy my family a pack of chicken portions. But I got scared after reading that those chicken pieces imported from America are alleged to contain substances that cause cancer. I don’t think I’m the only one who now wants to ensure that the chicken we buy for our families is locally produced. Before these reports, I never used to think about that, but would only check to see if it was free range or organic. In this issue, we ask chicken importer Evodia Motsepe for more clarity on this matter. She’s an inspirational woman who’s one of eight black importers involved in this business venture. Read her story on page 24, and get the low-down on imports versus…

TSITSI MAROTE NO I believe that freedom doesn’t mean you’re free. Even though we have a black Government, black people are still not free. As South Africans, we discriminate against each other by the things we say and don’t always uphold the value of freedom of speech. SIPHE THONYAMA NO I don’t feel free because I feel like my family has been discriminated against. My father was fired from his job because he complained that he was not getting paid enough money. If he were white I think his boss would have negotiated a better salary not fire him. PERCY LINDA NO Our Government mismanages public money and resources and there is a lot of privatisation in this country, which benefits a few people. White capital is still protected in…

‘A man who I thought was my boyfriend just got married’ IT LOOKS like his life as a married man is off to a shaky start. First he was nabbed for speeding a day before his wedding. Now allegations have surfaced that Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Brighton Mhlongo (25) impregnated a woman other than his new wife, and left her without a word. The day after she suffered a miscarriage, the girl who identifies herself only as Bongi says she woke up to shattering news of the alleged father’s wedding. “I woke up to such bad news – a man who I thought was my boyfriend just got married,” she says. “I’m Brighton’s girlfriend. Well at least I thought I was.” Twenty-four hours before the wedding, Brighton made the news after…

HOW TO GET THE LOOK 1 The whole point of the barely-there look is flawless application. Unlike nude make-up, minimalistic make-up looks natural. 2 For flawless foundation application, start with a foundation primer, or just go for a BB or CC cream. 3 Apply your bronzer or blush lightly, just to give glow. You can even apply it to your eyelids using your blush brush instead of eye shadow, and just finish off with mascara. 4 If you have full eyebrows brush them in place, and if you have to fill in your eyebrows, do so slightly. 5 Lip gloss or a lip balm will do for your lips. If you do want some colour, opt for a flesh-coloured lipstick. BARGAIN SMART BUY INVESTMENT "The best trick to the barely-there…

PARENTS get very excited and celebrate each developmental stage their child goes through – from the appearance of their first tooth to the first few steps they take. It soon gets competitive, however, when parents get together and talk about their children. They begin to compare their children’s development with that of other kids and become worried if their child isn’t walking at 12 months when their friend’s child started walking at 10, or said “Dada” soon after turning a year old. So should you, as a parent, be concerned if your child only crawls backwards or can’t kick a ball without falling over? It is important to remember that each child develops at their own pace, says Carla Grobler, an occupational therapist who specialises in paediatrics. “All children have…

GOING GLOBAL Let You Know will be released as a single worldwide, thanks to producer Sketchy Bongo who was recently signed to an American record label. The song was partly inspired by a crush, Shekhinah (21) reveals. “It’s inspired by a guy I really liked who lived in my building, but it’s also a classic story told by girls who don’t know where they stand with someone they have feelings for.’’ FANGIRL ALERT! She totally fangirled when she met American rapper Snoop Dogg. “I once saw Snoop Dogg at OR Tambo airport [in Joburg] and I ran to get a photo with him and he allowed me to take a selfie. I told everybody in the airport thatI got a photo with him.” CELEB CRUSHES She has a huge crush…

But her character turns out to be nothing like the woman we meet on a blazing hot afternoon in Pretoria. Grace, her character, is a no-nonsense kind of woman, but Bathabile Mashigo is quite the opposite: she’s soft-spoken, gentle and amiable. She greets us warmly and offers us a seat on her comfortable chic lounge suite. A collage of family photographs, including a few of her when she was younger, hangs on the wall. Looking at the pictures, the actress tells us that she and her two brothers were born and bred in Pretoria. She also stayed close to home for her studies, taking drama…

DRUM has also learnt that Mrs Mtshali will be self-publishing a children’s book, titled Prince Mnqweno and the Children of the Light. “The story is very close to me,” she says, adding that it is fictional but inspired by real life.

UNCOMPLICATE IT Each time I hear someone say “I’m in a complicated relationship”, what really rings the bell is that your life is complicated. Why are you scared of hurting the one who hurts you?

THE DEATH of a child must surely be a parent’s biggest trial, and the last time we saw her, she was distraught (Florence’s darkest hour, 3 December 2015). Not surprisingly, legendary actress Florence Masebe took a sabbatical from work after the tragic death of her 18-month-old son. And she left her fans wondering if she’d ever manage to bear the trauma and pain. But when you’ve conquered as many challenges as Florence has, giving up is not an option. We spot the star working in Limpopo and, after a chat, we get the feeling that she will be alright in the end. When we approach her, Florence is happy to confirm that she is indeed back at work, taking part in a presidential task team led by Deputy Minister in…

HOW TO APPLY DARK LIPSTICK 1 Before you apply your lip colour, apply a base of petroleum jelly to minimise staining. 2 Use a lip liner to prevent feathering (colour running over the lines). 3 To make the colour last longer, apply liner all over your lips before you put on lipstick. 4 Apply the lipstick, put a tissue between your lips and pucker them.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CURLS 1 Curls don’t need vigorous rubbing and tugging when washing them, as this will mess up the curl and cause it to loosen. 2 Use products for washing and styling that are specifically for curly hair, they will accentuate your curls. 3 One of the best ways to style your natural hair is doing bantu knots; they add a well-defined kink to the hair. 4 Natural hair tends to be dry, keep it hydrated and soft with products that contain glycerine.

‘Most often, when children are ill, the first symptoms of note are loss of appetite and not wanting to play’ Q I HAVE CHRONIC BACK PAIN I’m a 27-year-old lady and I have had chronic back pain for six years. It started when I was under severe stress. I get burning pains all over my body but the part most affected is my back, and I’ve lost a lot of weight. I’ve also noticed skin discolouration on my back. I’ve consulted doctors with no luck. They only give me painkillers and antidepressants, which don’t work. How do I get help because this stops me from living a normal life?

SPORTS Illustrated held its Fashionable 50 event at Vandal in New York City recently to celebrate the 50 most stylishly dressed sports personalities. Stars and supermodels refused to be left out, of course, and made their way onto the red carpet clad in the finest threads. Thigh-high boots are making a return this season. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2016 models CHANEL IMAN and ROSE BERTRAM both wore them with figure-hugging numbers. All covered up in lace was another model, HEIDY DE LA ROSA, who looked regal in an off-the-shoulder frock. DJ, model and entrepreneur HANNAH BRONFMAN also went for a similar look: She stunned in a dark dress which she paired with strappy heels. Not to be outdone by the supermodels, MALIKA HAQQ also showed off her equally impressive physique and…

The Gupta family is gone – having fled South Africa to Dubai – but we can expect more skeletons to come tumbling out of the cupboards they left behind. We already have whisperings about a number people in public office who appear to have been at the family’s beck and call, as well as a premier who denies visiting Dubai while they were there. It is astonishing that one family, and a foreign one at that, could’ve had so much influence in one country. As we look forward to the local government elections, voters can expect more mud to be thrown around as politicians try to discredit one another. What our political leaders need to see is that a lot of the mud is going to stick, because all secrets,…

‘The whole story is nothing but fabricated lies’ LIES, DECEIT and family disputes are dogging Bishop Hamilton Nala and his new wife less than a month after they got married. At the heart of the issue lies the lobolo, which may not have been paid. Bishop Nala of Nala Mandate ministries recently told DRUM he paid 11 cows for his fourth wife, 25-year-old Sindisiwe “Cindy” Dlamini’s lobolo (The Bishop’s new bride, 14 April). At the time, Cindy, who met the bishop at his church but romanced him on Facebook, confirmed to DRUM that lobolo was paid to the Dlaminis in Estcourt and said that “my uncle was very excited about my marriage to ubaba”. But her uncle, Skhumbuzo Dlamini, is far from happy. He claims there was no lobolo and…

HE WAS given just six months to live and was released on medical parole. But, one year after he was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, one of the men involved in the slaying of SA Communist Party leader Chris Hani is still alive. In May last year, the High Court in Pretoria heard that Clive Derby-Lewis had terminal lung cancer. Advocate Roelof du Plessis told the court that two doctors diagnosed his client as suffering from stage four cancer in December 2014, and gave him six months to live. Advocate Du Plessis said his client showed remorse as he had Hani’s widow, Limpho, visit him in hospital for a face-to-face apology. The upshot was that Derby-Lewis (80), who served 21 years in jail for providing the gun that assassinated Hani on…

AS I’M sitting, meditating on how to put together this column, ideas flood my mind. When I began preaching in unfamiliar places, I used phrases like, “You can’t be born-again Christians and be stressed out and depressed”. I was so sure about this. I would put a lot of emphasis on prayer and trusting in God, which I still do. In fact, I could not understand how it is that we can pray to the greater God and still get sick, fall and rise, become weak in our faith, divorce, die poor and have lives that do not attract people to come to Jesus. Well, it’s what I was told at a very early age. No wonder my life in God was one blunder after another. God was teaching me…

Ring of Lies premiers early next month and replaces Zabalaza in the channel’s 9 pm slot.

WE KNOW him as the scheming, power-hungry Ndalamo on the SABC2 soapie, Muvhango. However, LESLEY MUSINA has launched himself as a blockbuster movie star by starring in his first film, Man in Crisis. Shooting started in October last year. The film is directed by Shadie Mphaphuli and produced by local filmmakers, Mashudu Mashadro Tshisikule, Thomani Makwarela, Samuel Magagula and Max Tshunungwa. The film takes us on the journey of a rockstar, played by Lesley, who leaves Venda – and his pregnant girlfriend played by MILLICENT MAKHADO – for greener pastures in the United States. But can Lesley sing, we ask him? “I can hold the note and I had to learn to play a guitar,” he chuckles. His character lives the Hollywood life but is quickly swallowed up by it,…
